Frequently asked questions

What is keyword difficulty?

Keyword difficulty measures how hard it is to rank for a keyword on Amazon. It considers competition level, search volume, and average cost per click.

What is a good difficulty score?

Lower scores (0-30) are easier to rank for. Scores 30-50 are moderate difficulty. Scores above 70 are very competitive and may require significant PPC investment.

How do I find keyword search volume?

Use tools like Helium10, JungleScout, or Amazon's own search suggestions. Our calculator accepts any search volume estimate you have.

What is opportunity score?

Opportunity score combines difficulty and search volume. Higher scores indicate better opportunities - lower competition with good search volume.

Should I target easy or hard keywords?

Start with easy to moderate keywords (difficulty 20-40) to build initial sales and reviews. Then gradually target more competitive keywords as your listing improves.
